[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
I think you also got similar advice to mine on another post. Don't worry about going to day 1 with eclair. If you flash a stock froyo firmware with odin you'll have a phone like it came out yesterday. Now, it will also likely be unrooted and maybe locked (I'm not unlocked so I'm not sure about that part).

So once you get to the stock firmware you'll need to root again and maybe unlock (stock is stock after all). You may want to just try Darky's resurection rom (for Odin use)

, link here, which should make your phone faster and keep you rooted and unlocked.

If you don't care about root etc, then I think stock is fine as long as it doesn't lock the phone to another provider (use the search function in the forums). One warning is once you know how to change things (and recover) you might spend hours trying to play with the custom roms just because you can :).

Good luck in the AM

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onelovekir:
Ok so I have my own custom mikfroyo 4.5 Rom, and I added all the removed ringtones back in. I went to choose my ringtone and there was double everything so I cleared my media storage data so it would remove the duplicates and then I restarted.

When it booted back up, someone was calling me and it was a ringtone I had never heard before (a simple ringtone). So I tried to search for it in root explorer...I searched all mp3's, wav's & ogg's...I listened to all of them and none of them was it. Does anyone know the name of this ringtone and where I can find it?

Thanks in advance!!

I'm not sure if this helps but my friend has the Droid X for Verizon and the same sound is for his low battery signal but shorter obviously.
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
Because I'm curious, I know some say that its currently in testing.

I found this site from the Motorola site:

https://motorola-global-android.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/62460

Which makes it look like 2.2 is coming verrrry soon.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
yes, i can tell you not only is it in testing but most likely coming soon.

i have seen proof of it on phones.
[Bravo General] michaelvan8:
Patience :)
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
Oh no rush at all! Just wanting clarification. Thanks guys! :)

Just strange its not on the motorola update chart
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
does any one know, by the way, if the update is going to be released OTA or if its going to be a process like the update for the captivate and aria?

Edit: looks like the process is similar to that of the captivate and aria.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
No its OTA. It goes out like all the other moto phones ota's.

the private moto forums have discussed it and it seems besides one girl having issues (unrelated to the update probably) everyone is saying it works good.

I dont know what they are watiing for, but surprisingly, the 2.2 rom is done and ready to ship. Probably waiting fot att confirmation.
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
Guess we get a carrier text when it is about to come out?
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Sweet. That is excellent news. :)
[Bravo General] ralphiekowalski:
Uh oh

Will it still upgrade to 2.2 if I have removed the AT&T branded crapware?

What application/service do I need to unblock in droidwall for it to come down?
[Bravo General] michaelvan8:
Did you totally remove the crapware?? I used Bloat Freezer on the ATT bloatware and unfroze everything before updating. No problems.
[Bravo General] ralphiekowalski:
Yes. This was before I read that you had to keep it. Removed without backup with Titanium right after I had rooted. Would a factory reset put it back? I'd like to not have to exchange the phone at a store, but not having Froyo is kind of a killer. I mean, FPSE isn't even compatible with eclair :(
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
What i'm hoping for is that motorola will put it on the update map soon so that we have a rough date. As for apps.. if anything couldn't we get the files off one of our bravos if factory reset doesn't work?
[Bravo General] 71lemans1:
I just saw on the motorola website forum that they were looking for 1000 people to do final testing prior to roolout. Deadline to register just ended. Wish I would have found it sooner.

This is my first motorola android phone. How long does it typically take after they release the final build of a sw version for them to officially release to the general public?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] granduke:
We all know of our gps problems, not getting as much discussion is the compass which is just as bad.

I got a bluetooth gps as a work-around for the first issue, but what of the compass?

Is a a ROM which is considered superior in getting the compass working?

Or is there a way to bluetooth a compass to the phone, if not?
[Nook Color General] damthman:
on the official nook facebook page

"You asked, we listened. This spring, use your NOOK Color to send e-mail and explore popular apps like Angry Birds, Drawing Pad, Lonely Planet Phrasebooks, and Wine PhD. Stay tuned here for news about these exciting new features and when the firmware update will be ready. (P.S. Yes! We said Angry Birds!) What apps would you love to see on your NOOK Color?"

I feel so giddy!
[Nook Color General] flashfox:
Hmm... but Angry Birds is available. I even have AB Rip lol.

[Nook Color General] danger-rat:
I don't get it?

Why would you do that???
[Nook Color General] damthman:
I meant that on the nook official facebook page B&N is reporting that hey are updating the NookColor in April with flash and their app store. since this seems to be in confirmation with the HSN information I was hoping that what they said on facebook was going to come true. which means that people who love the B&N launcher so have just stock rooted will be able to get flash. also supposedly angry birds for the nook color will have a character specific for B&N. I was trying to suggest that i was placing all my hopes on the facebook page of B&N. obviously i failed in my effort because once you explain it, it loses its magic. :eek:
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
I think most importantly is the fact that this likely have newer kernel from which to develop better roms by the Devs or at least roo t it to a froyo with everything working properly.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
I could bring these out in a rom, but there are just way too many chefs in the Thunderbolt right now. So why not release a package that will tweak your current rom just as much?

What will this package do?

-Enable init.d support for scripts on startup.

-Enable usb debugging on a clean wipe.

-Add adb root at all times.

IO tweak

-Remount your filesystems(system, data, cache) with less overhead, so you can increase our already incredibly inflated IO score in quadrant. Does it increase real world performance? You be the judge.

Minfree tweak

-Will allow you to keep a higher mount of ram free before Android starts cannibalizing apps to free ram.

rw on boot

-Will allow you to boot at all times with system in rw mode. Handy for adb pushing files to system.

ro on boot

-Self explanatory.

How to use:

Flash kernel via HBoot.

Put PG05IMG.zip on sdcard, and with adb type:

adb reboot bootloader

This will boot to fastboot. All you need to do is hit power to enter bootloader, and it will scan the package and ask to load it. You will know if you have the right package if it says boot.

Note: If you do not have busybox installed, use this:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/busybox_1.19_3.zip

Once you have rebooted, take the second package and flash it via clockwork.

When you reboot, all tweaks will be applied for filesystem and minfree. To use rw at boot time:

In adb or terminal emulator, type:

rw_boot (will require you to type su beforehand if in terminal emulator.)

Next reboot will be rw.

For ro:

ro_boot (same thing, type su first if using terminal emulator.)

Next boot will be ro.

In regards to the two above scripts, do not worry if either gives a file not found error. It will still work.

Extra scripts:

sysrw --mounts system as rw.

sysro --mounts system as ro.

Tweaks that did not make the cut:

SD card speed tweak:

I see a lot of rom cooks adding this, but lets face it, HTC added this tweak in before the phone was shipped. I checked. No need to reapply the same thing again. Right, guys? *crickets*

Framework speed up by removing transitions:

Framework isn't eye candy.

Zipalign every boot

Apks can be zipaligned only once. No point in doing this every boot.

Download kernel:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ob2i992sza9y260

Download cwr package with scripts:

http://www.mediafire.com/?7u69f950indjiqe

I will be adding more as time goes on.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrmarshall428:
Can I flash this on top of the Virus Rom or no?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MXMike:
Well it does say ANY Rom so I would imagine you'd be safe flashing it
[Thunderbolt Android Development] NetworkPIMP:
Yes, you're fully rooted - which is to say, you have the ability to su and become root - very little that is running is actually running as root.

If you're running stock kernel, when you adb shell, you'll get a $ prompt ... i.e. you're not root yet, but can become so with a quick su. (Oh, and SuperUser will pop up asking you to allow it.) Nothing you do via the adb command (push, pull, etc) happens as root.

If you're running the patched kernel, when you adb shell, you'll get a # prompt ... i.e. you're root now. (No SuperUser prompt either.) Everything you do via adb (push/pull) happens as root.

Point being: yup, you're root'd - but you ain't root until you're root ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jaywan:
I will apply this in my next update and will be standard in all my roms. If that's okay with u

[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
fast boot, or fastboot?

fastboot is a feature of hboot, not the kernel.

fast boot is buggy and only works on wifi or 4G. NOT 3G.

Hello guys. My problem is with oclf, i had tried to instal a custom rom and in my stupidity i failed. So with the phone in recovery mode i did a sd wipe and a factory reset(hoping that way i still can run the phone). All was good, but the lagfix dosent work anymore, it dosent have available neither the instal or the remove oclf. What can i do to fix the problem? When u answer pls remember that i am a total noob :)

Thank you.

I am running stock KB1 with injected voodoo lagfix. I am tring to disable the 1900 band and use only the 850 band because I lose service in my area when my phone switches to 1900. This happens every few minutes. right now im using the stock modem that came with KB1 and when I try to enter band selection in the service menu I get a this option is restricted error. Are any of the other modems compatible with KB1 that will bypass this restriction?

Thanks

Well i just Flashed the UCJI6 modem and it seems to work with KB1 but the band selection is still restricted. Any help would be apreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fractaline:
if you want a good selection of modems you can flash a i9000 reoriented kernel and that will allow you to use i9000 modems ( of which there are many good ones) and still use your current rom.

i've not used stock ROM so look into which kernel is best. read lots and lots.

Something is wrong with your phone. I just tried it and after 5th failed attempt a popup appears saying to try again in 30 seconds and a timer appears top left of the pattern. Bottom right is the forgot pattern link.

See if you can boot into recovery and clear cache, not sure if this will help but it's what I would do. Maybe a reboot will straighten things out.

Hey guys! I figured you guys can help me out with this question.

I'm considering rooting my phone but I don't really want any custom ROMs. I'm happy with my current theme. I can already tether.

We're all here to help you bud, no worries. The sprint lovers rom is pretty much just a stock rooted rom with the normal sprint goodies with nothing removed along with a few extra tweaks. The rom is great and sounds about what youre looking for. If you search around the development section you can find really easy methods to root your phone and the sprint lovers thread is also there. I would link it up for you but I'm on my phone not home yet. But ill edit this post and link it up for you check back in like 30 mins. Rooting is very easy now a days and so is flashing.

hey bro, yes you can root and keep the stock one, but remember IMPORTANT, dont accept sprint OTA updates they will unroot you, also you should consider titanium backup after you root it is usefull for freezing those sprint apps and keep them out of the way.

then try any app2sd of your choice, good luck

I just went through this earlier this week. Some of the rooting techniques require you to wipe your phone or flash a rom like sprint lovers, but if you just want root, I used unrevoked. quick and painless, took less than 15 minutes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
Unrevoked will do a lovely job for you, no confusing instructions or mess required. At that point, you can keep your phone on the stock ROM. Rooting does not change your ROM, it just turns the security off so that you have the freedom to do so.

There are many really nice ROMs out there and kernels that will provide better performance and substantially improved battery life.

It's at least worth the research, even if you stick with stock. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
You will not be able to accept OTA updates from Sprint while rooted, at risk of losing root, perhaps permanently until someone finds another workaround to exploit.

Most people just wait until their favorite ROM developer releases the new Sprint base.
